Jayawardene: 'We made a few blunders and our execution wasn't up to the mark'

“Even we bowled pretty good yorkers throughout the campaign and we just couldn’t get those yorkers going,” MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene said

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Jun-20253:14

Shreyas Iyer’s hat-trick of sixes turned the match

Head coach Mahela Jayawardene pointed to the “blunders” on the field and lack of “execution” with the ball as the primary reasons for Mumbai Indians’ (MI) exit from what had been a “good campaign” in IPL 2025. On Sunday night, which spilled into Monday, MI lost in Qualifier 2 to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by five wickets to miss a shot at their record sixth IPL title.”It was a good campaign for us, the way we started and how we regrouped as a team and played some really, really good cricket,” Jayawardene said in the press conference after the game. “We had our opportunities getting to the playoffs, and we had a really good game first half and even today, I thought we played some good cricket except for Kings playing better cricket than us. Especially with the bat, they were solid, especially chasing 200. It’s not that easy, they executed that pretty well.”We made a few blunders obviously with those two catches but I think that’s how the game goes, we had those luck going our way in the previous games. It was a good game of cricket and we came short, I think that’s as simple as that.”Related

After being asked to bat first, MI posted a competitive 203 for 6, but it wasn’t enough to contain a clinical chase led by PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 87. Jayawardene said that MI’s bowling approach was to take the pace off the ball and rely on yorkers – something they had done well throughout the season – but execution let them down at critical points.At the end of ten overs, PBKS needed 106 needed off 60 and MI were 61% on ESPNcricinfo’s win predictor. However, Iyer and Nehal Wadhera’s 84-run stand off just 47 balls took the game away from MI.”In phases, they batted well,” Jayawardene said. “We also came back and took the wickets and were in it, which is that middle phase, [but] we just couldn’t control that after the tenth over. Those four-five overs, we just couldn’t keep the pressure going, and that’s where especially Nehal and Shreyas, their partnership probably took the game away from us.2:30

Why didn’t Hardik and Santner complete their quota of overs?

“We also took some pace off, but like I said earlier, our execution wasn’t up to the mark, we have to take that [blame]. Even we bowled pretty good yorkers throughout the campaign and we just couldn’t get those yorkers going as well [today].”So it’s just execution and that can happen and they put us under pressure as well, so when they hit those vital blows in that middle phase, especially those sixes, that’s something that we need to stop in this kind of situation, but we just couldn’t do that.”What could MI have done differently? According to Varun Aaron, smarter use of the pitch and the ground dimensions might have helped MI regain control in the middle overs.”Definitely not bowl the length they bowled tonight,” he said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out show. “They bowled too full. I definitely think they could have gone short and slow on this wicket, which [could have] got him [Iyer] out, especially with the boundaries being longer on one side. They just bowled too full.”

DCL upgrade: Farke must regret binning Leeds dud who was "like Archie Gray"

After the deadline passed at the end of the summer transfer window, Leeds United did not have the attacking depth that Daniel Farke wanted in the squad.

Journalist Graham Smyth noted that the manager revealed that it would be “difficult” for the club to avoid relegation if they did not add to their attacking options, and they did not.

The 49ers left it too late and had no back-up options when a deal for Harry Wilson fell through on deadline day, which meant that they ended the window with Noah Okafor as their only signing out wide.

Okafor, who was signed from AC Milan for £18m, was the only attacking signing who was signed for a transfer fee, as the club did not sign another winger, attacking midfielder, or striker from another club for a fee.

Lucas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were the only two other attacking signings made by the club during the summer transfer window, and both of them arrived on free transfers.

Calvert-Lewin joined on a free transfer from Premier League mainstays Everton in the summer after his contract with the Toffees expired, and Leeds need more from him.

Why Leeds need more from Dominic Calvert-Lewin

The 11-cap England international has played 245 matches in the Premier League, per Transfermarkt, for Everton and Leeds combined in his career, which shows that he is a hugely experienced player at the level.

His experience does shine through in his physical output. The towering striker has won 4.7 duels per game and won 42% of his aerial duels in the top-flight, per Sofascore, whilst Joel Piroe, for example, has won 0.5 duels per match and won 20% of his aerial duels.

This shows that he is providing an outlet at the top end of the pitch for Leeds to hit when they are under pressure, which is why Farke is right to continue to select him over Piroe, who is a lightweight out of possession.

However, Calvert-Lewin needs to offer more in front of goal for the West Yorkshire outfit, as his header in the clip above is his only goal for the club to date.

The £100k-per-week centre-forward has missed five ‘big chances’ in five starts in the Premier League, whilst he also missed four ‘big chances’ in the League Cup against Sheffield Wednesday on his debut.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, Calvert-Lewin is third in the Premier League for ‘big chances’ missed this season, but he does not boast the goal tally that the players around him in that list have.

Missing chances is not the end of the world for a striker if they are still scoring goals, as Erling Haaland and Jean-Philippe Mateta are doing, but the Leeds striker is not scoring enough goals to make up for his misses.

This is why Farke needs more from the experienced number nine. For all the good work he is doing physically, Calvert-Lewin must step up and provide goals to win points for the team.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

The longer his struggles in front of goal continue, the more Leeds may regret how they ended up in a position where Mateo Joseph had to be axed from the squad in the summer.

Per the striker’s comments, Farke told him that he would not be counted on in the Premier League, which led to a loan move to LaLiga outfit Mallorca.

Why Leeds must regret loaning out Mateo Joseph

The Spain U21 international came through the youth ranks at Thorp Arch to score six goals in 73 first-team matches for Leeds, per Transfermarkt, whilst mainly coming off the bench.

Journalist Phil Hay even said that Joseph was “starting to look a little bit like Archie Gray” at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, as the young striker was “becoming a really big impact player off the bench” in the same season that Gray stepped up before his £30m move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Unfortunately, Farke did not have faith that the Spaniard would be able to make the step up to the Premier League, which is why he was sent out on loan to Mallorca.

His form in LaLiga since being sent out on loan may be frustrating for supporters, because his current performance level suggests that he would be an upgrade on Calvert-Lewin at Elland Road.

The Leeds academy graduate has won 47% of his ground duels and 37% of his overall duels across eight appearances in LaLiga, per Sofascore, which shows that he has handled the physicality of one of Europe’s major leagues well.

On top of showing good physicality in his performances, Joseph has also scored two goals in four starts in LaLiga for Mallorca, twice as many goals as Calvert-Lewin has managed in the Premier League.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, the 22-year-old marksman has scored twice as many goals, provided one more assist, and won one more penalty than the Leeds forward this season.

Meanwhile, Calvert-Lewin has only won a slightly higher percentage of his physical duels, which suggests that Joseph would not be a significant downgrade in that respect.

Therefore, Leeds must regret binning the Spanish forward in the summer, because Farke did not trust him, as he is now outperforming Calvert-Lewin in another major European league.

His return of two goals with only two ‘big chances’ missed suggests that he is the clinical marksman that Leeds are sorely lacking in their team right now, after they failed to score any of the four ‘big chances’ they had against Burnley on Saturday.

Farke and Leeds will now be hoping that Calvert-Lewin can turn his form around and start to show why the club were willing to move Joseph on to go with him as their main number nine.

الظاهرة رونالدو يرد على تصريح كريستيانو "أنا الأفضل على مر العصور"

علّق الظاهرة البرازيلي رونالدو، لاعب ريال مدريد السابق، على تصريحات النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو، بأنه الأفضل في تاريخ كرة القدم.

وأجرى كريستيانو رونالدو مقابلة صحفية مطولة مع بيرس مورجان، أدلى خلالها بتصريحات عديدة، بينها أنه الأفضل على مر العصور.

وقال البرتغالي رونالدو في تصريحاته ردًا على سؤال إذا كان يستحق أن يكون الأفضل على مر العصور: “بالتأكيد، لكن لا يهمني ذلك، التاريخ يتحدث عن نفسه، لا مشكلة”.

مضيفًا: “لقد فزنا بثلاث ألقاب مع البرتغال وأنا سعيد جداً، سأكون سعيداً جداً بالفوز بكأس العالم، لكن البرتغال لم تفز بها أبداً، سنقاتل من أجلها، لكن هل تعتقد أنه سيكون عادلاً تقييمي في بطولة واحدة؟ أو إذا سأكون بين الأفضل، وإذا فازت البرتغال بكأس العالم ستكون مفاجأة” (طالع تصريحاته كاملة من هنا).

وفي تصريحات نشرها الصحفي فابريزو رومانو، قال الظاهرة رونالدو: “هل يقول كريستيانو رونالدو إنه الأفضل في التاريخ؟ بعض الناس لديهم ثقة كبيرة بأنفسهم”.

وأضاف: “أُفضّل أن يتحدث الآخرون عني بدلاً من أن أتحدث أنا عن نفسي، إنه أحد أفضل اللاعبين في التاريخ، ولكن هل هو الأفضل؟ لا أتفق معه، لكنني أحترم رأيه؛ إنه بلا شك من بين الأفضل في التاريخ، وأقول إنه من بين العشرة الأوائل”.

India Under-19s rack up 450 after Mhatre 102, Kundu 90

England Under-19s were made to toil on the opening day of the first Youth Test

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay12-Jul-2025

File photo – Ayush Mhatre scored 14 fours and two sixes during his century•PTI

India Under-19s were on top after day one of their unofficial Test match against England Under-19s at Beckenham, reaching 450 for 7 at stumps.The day was dominated by two huge partnerships: Ayush Mhatre and Vihaan Malhotra put on 173 for the second wicket, with Mhatre cashing in after being dropped twice to make 102 and Malhotra hitting 67.Abhigyan Kundu then hit 90 and Rahul Kumar 85 in an even bigger stand of 179 for the fifth.Alex Green, Archie Vaughan and Jack Home all took two wickets apiece, but England were left to rue four dropped catches.India won the toss and chose to bat, but there was a major disappointment for the crowd when the 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi was out for just 14. He’d effortlessly glided the first delivery of the morning for four, lifting James Minto over the slip cordon, but then flashed at Green and was caught by Ralphie Albert at deep third.Malhotra eased to 50 soon afterwards when he took two from Vaughan and Mhatre reached his hundred in style by striding down the wicket to the same bowler and hitting him for four over long off.Vaughan then had Mhatre brilliantly caught on the boundary by Singh, who nearly collided with Albert and held on one-handed as he hit the ground.Malhotra went seven balls later, when Green conjured a late away swinger that was caught behind. Vaughan then got Maulyarajsinh Chavda for 11, edging to Flintoff at first slip.If three quick wickets seemed to have put England back in the game, Kundu and Kumar reasserted India’s dominance. Kumar raced to 50 off just 43 balls and it was 289 for four at tea.Kundu brought up his half-century when he drove Albert for four but Home got both set batters out in the 67th over. Kundu cut him to Vaughan at point when he was 10 shy of three figures and Kumar then edged him to the wicket-keeper Tom Rew.This drastically slowed the run rate and Albert then had Mohamed Enaan lbw for 23. Home should have had a third wicket when Henil Patel, edged him to second slip, but Flintoff couldn’t hold a slip-high catch. In the next over Green was thwarted when Denly put down RS Ambrish at first and eight overs were left unbowled when the 6.30 pm cut off was reached, adding to the authentic Test-match feel.Mhatre was luckier. He was dropped by Rocky Flintoff when he was on six, after he got a thick edge to Minto and he reached 50 with an edged four through the vacant third slip area, again off Minto.He was dropped again, this time when he was on 66, by Jaydn Denly, who was at first slip when Mhatre edged Denly’s Kent team mate Ekansh Singh.

تريزيجيه: رفضت طلب أستون فيلا من أجل منتخب مصر.. وأخبرتهم شيئًا تسبب في رحيلي

علق محمود حسن تريزيجيه لاعب فريق الكرة بـ الأهلي، على مسيرته مع منتخب مصر الأول، موضحًا تفاصيل أزمة حدثت بينه وبين مسؤولي أستون فيلا بسبب رغبته في المشاركة ببطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا 2021.

وقال تريزيجيه في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “إم بي سي مصر2”: “لستُ مدمنًا للشهرة، يجب أن تكون لدى أي لاعب كرة قدم، بعض اللاعبين يظنون أن الدخل الذي يحصلون عليه سيستمر معهم طوال حياتهم، أو أنهم سيظلون معروفين إلى الأبد”.

وتابع: “المهم أن تحافظ على نفسك وعلى جسدك؛ فجسمك هو الآلة التي تعمل بها، وطالما تهتم بها ستعطيك، وفترة كرة القدم يجب أن تعيش لها، لأنه بمجرد أن تعتزل ستُنْسَى، أنا كل يوم بعد التمرين أخضع للعلاج والاستشفاء وأهتم بالأكل لأحافظ على نفسي”.

وأكمل: “احترفت لمدة 10 سنوات خارج مصر، ومن أول يوم كنت أنتظر سماع اسمي في كل معسكر مثل أي لاعب يلعب في فريق محترم مهما كان صغيرًا، ونحن صغار كنا نتمنى فقط أن نرى لاعبي منتخب مصر، والمنتخب بالنسبة لي هو حياتي”.

واستطرد: “عندما أردد نشيد بلدي أشعر بشعور كبير، واللاعب الذي لا يقدّر قيمة انضمامه للمنتخب، أو لا يحزن عند عدم استدعائه، فاعلم أنه ليس على الطريق الصحيح، وكن واثقًا أن ربنا يراك، وأن تعبك لن يضيع، والمنتخب بالنسبة لي هو الرقم واحد”.

طالع | تريزيجيه: الأهلي لم يظهر 30% من قوته الحقيقية.. ولا أفكر في لقب “القائد التاريخي”

وأضاف: “عندما كنت ألعب تحت قيادة كيروش وأنا في أستون فيلا، طلب مني النادي عدم الانضمام لمنتخب مصر في أمم إفريقيا، وقالوا لي إن هناك مخاطرة كبيرة بعد عودتي من إصابة الصليبي، وإن تعرضتُ لإصابة جديدة فلن يعالجوني”.

وزاد: “قلت لهم (لو هموت سأذهب للمنتخب) وبعد البطولة استغنوا عني (ومشوني) من النادي، لكني قبلت المخاطرة لأن بلدي أهم من أي شيء، لو ضاع مستقبلي لا مشكلة، فأنا أتعامل مع الله، وليس مهمًا أن يعرف الناس هذا الأمر، وهناك من يضحي بحياته من أجل بلده، فهل أنا الذي ألعب كرة قدم، أخاف؟”.

وأوضح: “خسرتُ نهائيين لكأس أمم إفريقيا، وسأواصل المحاولة حتى آخر نفس من أجل أن نحصد هذه البطولة، ويجب أن تُقدّروا جميع اللاعبين والجهازين الفني والطبي؛ فنحن فريق واحد”.

وأتم: “صحيح أننا نملك أفضل لاعب في العالم محمد صلاح، لكنه ليس وحده؛ فالجميع يبذل أقصى جهده ويُضحّي من أجل رفع اسم بلادنا”.

Talks open: Sunderland willing to make record £70m offer for Barcelona star

Sunderland are sitting inside the Champions League slots and could now be set to put forward a record bid for a European star that would represent a major shift in mentality at the Stadium of Light.

Regis Le Bris has continued to thrive in the North East after leading the Black Cats to the Premier League last season, and his side emerged with major credit over the weekend after securing a last-gasp 2-2 draw at home to Arsenal.

Despite the visitors defence being near-impenetrable in the top-flight before kick-off, Sunderland managed to carve their way through Mikel Arteta’s backline on several occasions.

More importantly, the Black Cats withstood immense pressure from the Gunners, throwing bodies on the line to secure a valuable point that keeps them on course for an excellent campaign as a newly-promoted outfit.

Dan Ballard played a significant role in helping Sunderland claim the result. However, the Northern Ireland international has stressed that his teammates have a long way to go before achieving their initial target of retaining their place in the division.

He told Match of the Day: “It’s a good morale boost to show we can go against a really top team – probably one of the best in Europe at the minute – and delighted with that. But it is just one point and we’ve got a lot of work to do to achieve our goal of staying up this year.”

Of course, Ballard’s comments are fairly routine for a side who are exceeding expectations. Still, Sunderland have definitely shown a healthy sense of ambition this term, and appear on course to achieve an excellent points total if they can maintain their current form.

With that in mind, they could now be set to target a record signing who would change the landscape of what could be to come at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland could submit record offer for Fermin Lopez

According to reports in Spain, Sunderland could be set to submit an offer of over £70 million to sign Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez, contingent on whether they secure a dream Champions League slot this season.

Given their financial structure allows Le Bris to compete with elite sides across the continent, there is now internal debate at the Catalan giants over whether to accept a money-spinning sum for one of their rising stars, who would instantly be Sunderland’s most expensive signing ever.

Labelled “sensational” by Hansi Flick, the attacking midfielder has already notched six goals and four assists in 11 matches this season, and he is also capable of playing on the left flank or in central midfield.

Sunderland have bid for the new Chemsdine Talbi

Talks are at an initial stage and Barcelona are yet to give a definitive signal whether they are going to let him depart, though it is clear that Sunderland have given them something to think about ,and a high-profile transfer saga could be set to follow.

Pakistan fan 'asked to cover shirt' during England-India Test

Lancashire have said they are investigating the incident at Old Trafford

Fans at Old Trafford make their affiliations known•AFP/Getty Images

Lancashire have said they are investigating after an incident in which a fan attending the fourth Test between England and India at Old Trafford was asked to cover up the Pakistan shirt they were wearing.The fan, named in Pakistani media as Farooq Nazar, posted a video on social media documenting the request, initially from a member of the security staff at the ground, that he cover the shirt, a replica of Pakistan’s traditional green limited-overs kit.The security guard, who identifies himself as working for Lancashire, says: “I’ve been asked by control if you can cover that shirt up, please.” Later on, a steward can be heard saying the shirt “might be considered nationalistic”.Related

In the video, Nazar can be seen becoming increasingly agitated amid repeated requests to cover up. Eventually, he is approached by a police officer, who asks to continue the conversation away from the stands. According to reports, Nazar then opted to leave the ground rather than hide his shirt.Political relations between India and Pakistan, frosty for years, have been at their most tense this year, following a brief military skirmish between the two countries in May. Those tensions have filtered into relations between the BCCI and PCB; the two sides have not played a bilateral series since 2012-13 and no Test cricket since 2007-08. Their participation in ICC events hosted by either country has also recently become problematic, with a neutral venue added in to stage their games as part of a hybrid solution to the issue.It is unclear on which day of the Test, which ended in a draw as India batted their way through five sessions, the incident took place but Lancashire confirmed they were looking into it.”We are aware of the incident referenced and are taking steps to understand the facts and context surrounding the matter fully,” a Lancashire spokesperson said.In recent years, Lancashire have openly spoken of building their links with India. The Hundred team based at the ground, Manchester Originals, are set to become 70% owned by Sanjiv Goenka’s RPSG group, which runs Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, while Lancashire’s chief executive, Daniel Gidney, has suggested giving the BCCI a stake in the 100-ball tournament.
